Olivia Culpo
Before hosting the Tubi Red Carpet at Super Bowl LIX, Culpo dished all about husband, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, and what it's like to bond with other WAGs. "All of our husbands are with each other every single day and we spend a ton of time together, too. Nobody understands what you're going through. It's a really nice community," she said.
Terry Crews
Crews opened up in a wide-ranging interview. He shared how he rebuilt his relationship with wife Rebecca King-Crews after 20 years of marriage, and went on to enjoy 16 more years (and counting) together. "A lot of times people feel like love is about feelings — it's work, it's work, it's really work. You have to get better at it. It's a skill," he said.
Jason Tartick
The Bachelor star, who announced his split from girlfriend Kat Stickler in October, dished that he's "still looking for love." Tartick runs his Rewired Talent Management and said he's "so focused on the present. I'm very excited about what's next. I'm not on any dating apps or anything like that... I'm really excited about this year."
Camille Kostek
Kostek has been modeling for Sports Illustrated for years, but she told PEOPLE that she still crosses her fingers that she gets a call back each year. "It's so nerve-racking. Even all these years later I still get so nervous. I like can't sleep the night before a shoot," she says. "I'm just like running on adrenaline. But this team hypes you up. It's such a solid group of women that are just championing for you."
Chris "Mad Dog" Russo
The SiriusXM host, who headlines the Mad Dog Sports Radio channel, spoke about his "bromance" with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and Timothée Chalamet's take on Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. (He's a mega fan.) Russo attended the premiere in London and said Chalamet is the "real deal."
"He signed every autograph. He took every picture with all the fans lining up. He's the real deal, very genuine."
Michelle Beadle
The host of Beadle & Decker on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio channel gave insight into the Eagles and Chiefs teams before the big game. She rightfully predicted that there would be no engagement from Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift despite rumors. "We are not doing that," she laughed. "It's going to be somewhere nice and private and quiet."
Jena Sims
Sports Illustrated model Sims gave a look inside the world of a WAG when it comes to golf. (Sims has been married to golfer Brooks Koepka since 2022.) "With NFL, WAGS they are all cheering for the same team whereas golf is such an individual sport," she said. "It's a little bit different." Still, "there is a camaraderie," she shared. "We do love each other."
Rob Gronkowski
Gronkowski has "no complaints" as he's transitioned from athlete to sports reporter. The spokesperson for Bounty paper towels is happy to be balancing a busy schedule with time with his girlfriend Kostek. The two happily parent dog, Ralphie. "I miss him right now just talking about him," he gushed.
Myles Garrett
Garrett was open about requesting a trade from the Cleveland Browns at the start of Super Bowl week. "I hope it’s full of winning, full of happiness," he said of his next chapter. "And I hope I’m able to display my talent and be the person that I am.”
Jayden Daniels
No one is a bigger fan of the Rookie of the Year winner than his mom and manager, Regina Jackson. "She goes to every game, no matter if it's cold, rainy, snow, she's gonna be in the stands for sure," said Daniels.
Adam Devine
Devine and Rubenstein didn't just talk — they sang! After a quick jazz intro, the actor, who was in Cirkul's Super Bowl commercial, gave an update on his son Beau's latest milestones. "So many teeth! The guy has what six teeth now. It's crazy. He's standing. He's starting to walk. He's taking a few steps and then falling. But it's going in that direction. I'm like, 'Please, don't walk.' I want him to be slow when it comes to the walking because he's already a maniac when he's crawling," he joked.
Brianna LaPaglia
The BFFs podcast host said her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover in January was very meaningful following her split from Zach Bryan.
"There was just a lot that happened in the past year where I didn't feel like I was in control of my life and I let someone else [control my decisions]," she said. "So being able to be on that cover and show that it's my life, it's my body was a very powerful moment for me mentally."
Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery
The Detroit Lions players aren't just great friends, Montgomery considers Gibbs his "little brother."
"When you get a chance to be with someone that you authentically love, it makes your job a lot easier," he added while speaking to PEOPLE on behalf of Bounty. "We're both pretty competitive and we both want to be on the field but I do appreciate seeing how he works and seeing his success pay off."
Aidan Hutchinson
Eminem is a "mega fan" of the Detroit Lions and that fact never gets old for Hutchinson. "It's crazy," said the Gatorade partner. "We'll be playing in the games and we'll look up and they'll show him sitting in the box like just totally coolin', chillin' with his hat tipped down, kinda doing his own thing."
"He's just mega fan, all in," he added. "He's a great dude."
Bijan Robinson
The Atlanta Falcons star running back spoke about another standout running back: Saquon Barkley. "I really want to see him succeed," said Robinson, who works with C4 Energy. "It's cool to see the running back position coming back to life," he added of the Eagles player's impact.
